44
+
45
+ citation1 (string): Legal citation for the document (neutral citation where available)
46
+
47
+ citation2 (string): For some documents multiple citations are available (e.g. for some periods

49
+
50
+ data_instance (string): Name of the data instance (e.g. "SCC", "FCA", "FC", etc)
51
+
52
+ year (int32): Year of the document date, which can be useful for filtering
53
+
54
+ name (string): Name of the document, typically the style of cause of a case
55
+
56
+ language (string): Language of the document, "en" for English, "fr" for French
57
+
58
+ document_date (string): Date of the document, typically the date of a decision (yyyy-mm-dd)
59
+
60

61
+
62
+ scraped_timestamp (string): Date the document was scraped (yyyy-mm-dd)
63
+
64
+ unofficial_text (string): Full text of the document (unofficial version, for official version see source_url)
65

67
+
68
+
69
+ ### Data Splits
70
+
71
+ The data has not been split, so all files are in the train split. If splitting for training/validation,
72
+ some thought should be given to whether it is necessary to limit to one language or to ensure that both
73
+ English and French versions of the same documents are put in the same split.
